Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Lombard - and I have 3 different certified mac chips various sizes plus 2 others. And all I have is OS10.3. Tired of trying to get it to work. So what model would be a good next step up that would take 10.3 and run all the current programs??? Linda

From 10.1 up, one needs al least 128 MB but all the RAM upgrades I've tested, in various configurations up to and including 512 MB, invariable gave me a freeze or kernel panic. So, I would advise you not to waste any money on a copy of OS 10.2. Rather, try to locate someone with a Lombard who has been able to install Panther, see if you can borrow that working RAM chip to install Panther and then swap it for the RAM you have (apparently, for installing the Lombard is much pickier then for actually running 10.3).
